Indian-origin filmmaker Aneesh Chaganty’s feature film debut is a gem of a high-concept thriller with human emotions at the heart of it. The film reflects on the biggest irony of our lives — loneliness and human disconnect in times of online connectivity.
Searching has one of the most soul-stirring opening scenes that leave you teary-eyed. It brilliantly touches upon us coping with life and loss in times of digital isolation. Small films can leave a deep impact and this is one such incredible story that addresses the most pertinent question of today — whether our need to document our lives on social media is a boon or a bane?

David Kim finds out that his daughter Margot called her a few times while he was sleeping. Whereas, his thoughts that Margot would be busy attending Piano lessons proved to be wrong the next day as her piano instructor informed David that his daughter had not been taking Piano classes for the last six months and had actually canceled her Piano lessons. It is further revealed that Piano lessons fee that he gave to her was deposited into Margot's personal online account. David felt embarrassed because it all had been happening right under his nose and he could not understand and know what his daughter was doing for all that time. In concern, he called his brother Peter and asked about Margot, but his brother also informed him that he did not know anything about Margot. Assuming something problematic, Davis decides to report his daughter's missing to 9/11. He comes to know that his case has been assigned to a lady detective whose name was Rosemary Vick. Detective Rosemary Vick starts collecting important information about Margot from David Kim in order to find an important clue about her disappearance.

David tells the information to Detective Vick and when they explore the area, they find out Margot's drowned car inside the lake without her. Soon, David finds out that fish_n_chips has something to do with his daughter's disappearance. He also incidentally comes to know that Detective Rosemary Vick had volunteered for his case which casts a shadow of doubt in his mind. It is soon revealed that the person behind fish_n_chips online id was Robert and he is the son of Detective Rosemary Vick. This proves that Detective Rosemary Vick was behind Margot's disappearance and when she is investigated, she confesses that Margot fell in a ravine and it is hard for her to survive, therefore, she pushed Margot's car into the lake and forced one online user to admit killing of Margot in a video before he was killed by Vick. Luckily, when the Police check the ravine area, they find Margot still alive. The movie ends as David Kim and his daughter start to have a healthy daughter and dad relationship.

✔ Conclusion
The movie "Searching" is a nice attempt made by the actors and production team belonging to Asian-American category. The movie has the element of thrill in it as the disappearance of John Cho's daughter in the movie created a lot of interest in the movie. One most important thing in the movie was the actions of Debra Messing who played the character of a Police Detective; however, in order to save her own son from the effects of case, she even tried to cover his son's wrongdoings which almost caused the murder in the movie. That aspect shows that parents have strong feelings for their children and they can go to any limit for their children's safety and can do anything, no matter right or wrong. On the whole, the movie was very entertaining and the audience also praised it.
